2012 book 29

Elizabeth Wein's Code Name Verity
I wanted to read something GREAT to cheer me up after the last book, plus one of my book groups is discussing this on Saturday and I needed to refresh my memory. You know, I have read this three times now, and I just don't get the complaints that it's a slow starter (several people have said this to me). Even if you don't suspect that anything is up (and even on my first read I did, though not to the correct extent), isn't it still kind of a fascinating story? Not just the whole giving-info-to-Nazis thing, but the story of the girls' friendship, and Maddie learning to be a pilot! All leading up to the harrowing and heartbreaking second part. I love this book.
